in Carr's Lane, Birmingham; fetting forth, "That the
"Inhabitants of the populous Regions in India, which
"form an important Portion of the British Empire,
being involved in the most deplorable State of Moral
“Darkness, and under the Influence of the most abomi-

"Claim on the compaffionate Feelings and benevolent
"Services of British Chriftians: That the Petitioners
"feel great Pleasure in recognizing thefe Feelings of
"Compaffion and Benevolence, in a Refolution of The
"Honorable House of Commons, paffed in the Year
1793, that is to fay, "That it is the peculiar and
"bounden Duty of the British Legislature to promote,
by all just and prudent Means, the Intereft and Hap-
pinefs of the Inhabitants of the British Dominions in
"India; and that for thefe Ends, fuch Meafures ought
"to be adopted as may gradually tend to their Advance-
ment in useful Knowledge, and to their Religious and
"Moral Improvement:" That this fympathetic Dil-

Kingdom, and encouraged by the Refolution of The
"Honorable Houfe of Commons above quoted, Plans
"have been formed by different Denominations of Chrif-
"tians and adequate Inftruments and Funds provided for
"the Purpose of extending the Knowledge of the
"Chriftian Religion in India: That the Charters which
"have been granted to The East India Company have
"provided that every Perfon defirous of proceeding to,

"a Licence for that Purpose from the Directors of that

"that it was not intended to impede the Progress of
Christianity, or place under the Controul of the Di-

humbly hope, and earneftly entreat their Lordships,

"Courts of Equity in Ireland have differed from each
"other in their Conftruction of Covenants fimilar to
"thofe ftated in the prefent Cafe of the Irish Tenantry
"Acts of Parliament, whereby a very confiderable Pro
"portion of the Landed Property of that Part of the

"are now the Subject of Litigation between the Land-

"Appeal, to declare the juft Conftruction of fuch

"his Appeal ftands fo far back in the Lift of Appeals
"for hearing, being the One hundred and fortieth, and
"that it is most important to the Petitioner and his

"fo that it may be heard this Seffion, by reafon of the
very advanced Age of the Petitioner, and the very
